Stars excited ahead of MTV's European awards show

(AP) American rapper Ludacris says he has a huge crush on supermodel Heidi Klum, the host of Sunday's MTV European music awards show.

Ludacris, alt-pop trio Fun and Canadian singer-songwriter Carly Rae Jepsen took a rehearsal break to attend a press briefing Saturday ahead of the MTV EMA in Frankfurt.

Joined by Klum, all talk turned to the upcoming festivities.

Ludacris says he feels blessed to be in Frankfurt and sees the awards as a chance to give back to the global fans and also get near Klum.

Klum, meanwhile, was excited to cross paths with South Korean phenomenon Psy and admitted she and her children are partial to his Gangnam style dancing.

The 19th annual MTV EMA will broadcast live Sunday from Frankfurt's historic Festhalle.
